Sometimes the beauty in learning is the notion of philosophy, a new perspective or new found respect for something ordinary. Every time I teach younger audiences, I end up the student and my understanding deepens.Thought I'd share my happy thought.
This week we returned to the Lake Washington school district to support the efforts of a dynamic Spanish teacher who is doing great work in cultivating a global perspective with her 7th and 8th graders. This year the focus was on the Dominican Republic and Cuba. It is so refreshing to have the opportunity to share and collaborate across educational divides. New Year 2012, teach me more!

Community & Dance

We are rooted in community practice Besides picking up Latin dance vocabulary, steps and adapted norms of practicing this cultural expression of dance (Salsa, Folkorico, Bachata, Ballroom Dance...), as master instructors, our experience shapes how we perceive movement, distill its euphoric beauty and how we have learned to guide others through their own process of learning to dance....then there is partnered dance, that push and pull thing. Its the place we learn to express and we are thankful for everyone who continues to springboard out of our doors into the fun and excitement of dancing in Seattle. **** Check out our event page for a chance to participate in different ways. The dance floor is a place for magic, a place to troubleshoot, a place to heal as well as a place to find/give/share empowerment. 

Next week Friday Social 4/26, 6:30pm. We provide a comfortable open space to help boost confidence with new dance skills and encourage more practice. All are welcome, adult party, busi…
